The moment to start is now.

My fellow dreamers, it's time to have a real talk. I want to share something with you.
Procrastination is the thief of time. It is a silent killer of progress. It kills you and your progress slowly. It lurks in the shadows, slowly stealing your dreams, aspirations, and all you have ever wanted to be. It's the enemy of progress you never prayed for.
How many times have you pushed back that project, delayed that BIG move, or postponed that leap of faith? I have been there. We've all been there, believing there's always more time, always another chance. But the harsh truth is, there isn't. You continue to delay things until there is no time left.
Check your age. How old are you now? You won’t live forever - you only have a limited number of days on this Earth. If you continue to procrastinate, before you know it, your chance to do everything you ever wanted will ‘whoof’ into thin air. Now tell me, is that the best way to live this short life that you’ve got? Come on, you’re better than this. Wake up.
Listen, it's time to wake up and get serious about your time. No more pushing things off until "later" – because that later may never come. This is it. This is the only chance you have to make the most of your life. Stop always thinking later, because you're wasting your time. Live now, not tomorrow, not later.
The moment to start is now. Attack those goals with seriousness and ferocity. That kind of ferocity that leaves no room for delay. Every single day, do something - anything at all - that brings you closer to the life you want for yourself. Even if you put in one minute per day. Because the longer you wait, the more you're killing your potential.
Life is beautiful. Don't let procrastination ruin yours. Like a weed, uproot it now. Don’t you see how it is entangling throughout your life, finances, growth, and relationships? Can’t you see how it is slowly destroying everything you ever wanted to become and dreamed of? Can’t you see how people with half your talent are making waves, improving their finances, building their brands, changing lives, and inspiring others? If I had put off writing this post now, you probably wouldn’t have been reading it by now.
The moment you stop procrastinating, the world is yours. You can do anything you want, you can be whatever you want. You can start that business. You can be that Writer, Designer, Programmer, Singer, Speaker, and whatever but that involves taking action today. Make the most of every day. There isn't always a tomorrow.
No more excuses, no more delays. It's time to stop being a spectator in your own life and become the star of your show. The world is yours for the taking, but you have to reach out and grab it. And you can, I believe in you. Thank you for taking the first step and getting to work.
